MySpace - Angry Mob

There are a lot of issues throw out on Zynga Forum Board about MySpace players.

All of MySpace players are abandoned because there is no update, no progress on their game since a year. They have made a group and call themself "The Angry Mob" and made this bumper sticker as their siggy on the forum board.

And also this one :

This one too..

Last one :

I also want to share this in one : The Story of Mafia Wars and Zynga made by 1Spiritomb.

The Story of Mafia Wars and Zynga.

Mark Pincus: I did it! I have established a new business!
*Hires Workers.*
"Sweet, let's work on creating some awesome and addicting games!" The workers say.
Creation of Mafia Wars is born.
MySpace: Good Old Days --- updates --- Unlimited Hitlist XP = positives.
Facebook: Still Good --- Positives, unlimited job assists XP. New York and Cuba and then Moscow.
Players are impressed with the game, many great social aspects.
As time passed by, the games on both platforms were doing great, and there was still many great features and additions.
Summer 2009: The corporation is still doing good, but then darkness soon arrives in the near future...
Fall 2009: Dev guy: "I think its a good idea to get rid of robbing." Workers agree? What's happening? That doesn't sound like a very good decision...
October 2009: Mark Pincus comes in to the office: "Hey guys, I found a great new product for us to try, let's take it to see if it helps us think of even more great ideas, also I think we should bring back robbing soon.
*Workers take pill.* Dev guys "I feel queasy."
Now the corporation is infected and is now doomed.
Bad Ideas now come along: "Hey let's destroy the game now! We got enough money now, let's make a new policy for us to follow:
New rules and contract get posted on the bulletin: "It is now time to turn against the players for no apparent reason, they are children and we are adults, and it is our duty to make them not have any fun, example: child asks "Hey dad can I go skateboarding?" Dad says No, child says why? and Dad says "Because I said so." It is now Zynga's duty to keep taking this new product so we can enjoy our day by making customers feel misery, and its time for us to be the most rude and inconsiderate corporation ever, and also have the most stupid rules and regulations ever, it is our duty to be annoying and not make any sense enough to try and make the universe explode. Our main target we should destroy the most is Mafia Wars, its a crime game, so we should do the most wacky drugged up crimes on the game, and destroy the whole Mafia style aspect of the game entirely."
... Everyone agrees and signs this contract from Hell.
Now Mafia Wars falls...
December: Massive bugs and glitches
January: New crappy properties
February: Marketplace and Flash
March: Slow fightlists and game is now a bogged down bloated steaming pile o' crap. Also introductory to new poor Robbing.
April: Crap Advertisements everywhere, buy this buy that.
May: Moar crap stuff
June: Game still is dung
July: More poor decisions: Deduction in top mafia percentages.
August: More unnecessary tampering with XP pay-outs.
September: Game still continues to fall.
October: Things are getting worse...
November: Biggest new crap stuff yet, the removal of newsfeed from the home page and making room for more unnecessary stuff like advertisements
December: Numbers are really starting to drop now and it looks like the end is closing in.
January: Crappiest stuff yet: Shark Tank fiasco and then the removal of FC Refills.
Now in February and Zynga also continues to disrespect MySpace.
And right now it seems things are now closer to the end than ever before.

The Moderators are paying attention and give their best answer :

But then still NO update info anlthough they have promised about it.

What can I say about Zynga???

You have dumped Tagged players after all those players threw tons of money on this game, you have ignored MySpace and not added anything new in a year and even then all players had to BEG you to do something about it!

One of MySpace player said that she would love to join FaceBook if you can do something about MySpace, althougth if that's meant you have to remove this game from MySpace platform, rather than to leave them with no good answer all this year.

Ok, here is another great post from our friend, Here2Trade  :

I wanted to update you on some things you missed

The world of Mafia Wars

Searching the web I have found out that:
1) Mafia Wars was pulled from Bebo
2) Mafia Wars was pulled from Sonico
3) Mafia Wars was pulled from Tagged and they received a small package for a move over to Facebook
4) Mafia Wars deleted and made Yahoo players start all over including starting over with 0 mafia with no compensation
5) Games discontinued by Zynga
Attack!
Dope Wars
Dragon Wars
Fashion Wars
Football
Gang Wars
Ghost Racer
Guild of Heroes
Heroes vs. Villains
Music Pets
My Heroes Ability
Ponzi Inc.
Prison Lockdown
Roller Coaster Kingdom
Space Wars
Special Forces
Street Racing[58]
Triumph
It Girl
Poker Blitz
*This list does not include all games that were aquired during a buyout of another company and closed down.
6) There are other Zynga Games that have not been pulled but do not get updates.


I am not saying Zynga is wrong for how they conduct themselves. I am just stating the facts of what they have done. We all know by the app data that Mafia Wars is dying.
The facts are:
Zynga has reduced Top Mafia Percentages
Zynga has reduced Top Mafia bonus
Zynga has reduced loot drops from energy/stamina jobs
Zynga has reduced good loot from operations
Zynga has broken missions
Zynga has had way to many roll backs
Zynga has accused many people of being a cheater. When they are not and they have to prove they are innocent
Zynga has changed XP on jobs many times
Zynga has made Italy under 2.0 XP for energy jobs
Zynga has managed to break something with every release
Zynga has added pop ups while you are fighting
Zynga has increased the number of pop ups
Zynga has destroyed Myspace's game and left them for a year
Zynga has promised multiple times in the forum to communicate more
Zynga has not given us release notes on updates
Zynga has not told us how new features work
Zynga has not fixed old bugs
Zynga has not had a real community leader for Mafia Wars

Still many.. many posts on the forum board that I can not post all together here.
The point is that there are tons of Angry Mob out there in any platform of Zynga games. Hope that Zynga can do something good about major issues and make all players happy.
